In 2007, we doubled our square footage, remodeled, refurbished and renewed not only our premises but ourselves and our commitment to our community. We have retained the intimacy and familiarity that only a small theater can provide while, at the same time, we have given our patrons a venue with charm, comfort and ambience that few theaters can match.

Stage 3 is still fueled by belief, dreams and gumption. We believe in a theatre that adds meaning to our lives and means something to the life of our community. A theater daring enough to make a point but accessible enough to make a difference.

And those dreams have paid dividends. The Stockton Record called Stage 3 “The best thing to happen in this region for many years.” “Stage 3 dazzles.” said the Union Democrat. “Breathtaking theater.” claims the Modesto Bee.

Led by Artistic Director Don Bilotti and later joined by CEO Reb Silay, Stage 3 has carried its banner forward and become a potent theatrical powerhouse. “Stage 3 has become known as an ‘actor’s theater’, adds Explore Sonora “producing high-caliber dramas and top-flight comedies with considerable theatrical firepower.”
